Island Teak (Canada) created and produces the only teak oil which contains natural oils and waxes extracted from reclaimed teak wood, which is then blended with pure, naturally hardening tung nut oil.
Island Teak has a limited remaining supply of old growth Burma Teak lumber milled on Vancouver Island from reclaimed teak timbers.
Island Teak True Teak Oil
Tung Oil Paste
Island Teak Tung Oil Paste is a unique wood polish created by Island Teak (Canada).Our Tung Oil Paste contains 100% non toxic, naturally hardening Tung Oil from sustainably farmed and harvested Tung Nuts. We use a lengthy and controlled UV light process to convert the raw oil into a more user friendly product which has superior qualities to raw Tung Oil. Nothing physical is added or taken away from the 100% raw non toxic Tung Oil. Our Tung Oil Paste is applied to either bare wood or on most poly or varnished finishes. It will not chip, crack or leave wet rings on its surface.
Apply Island Teak Tung Oil Paste by dabbing small blobs onto your surface and then use a hair dryer to melt the paste onto the wood. On bare wood the warmed Tung Oil Paste will penetrate into the wood surface. Use a cotton cloth to spread out the melted paste evenly. After an hour or two buff thoroughly with a clean cotton cloth. Repeat this process after 24 hours and apply a minimum of two layers. Additional layers will enhance lustre and protection.
Island Teak Tung Oil Paste is ideal for all fine woods, both interior and exterior.

Our Story
Island Teak owner, Ken Chaytor, has been in the teak trade and milling teak timbers since 2001 on Vancouver Island B.C., Canada.
Ken also created and produces the only teak oil in the world that actually contains extracted oils and waxes from teak wood.
Our Point of Difference
We sell some of the last legal, old growth Burma teak in North America.
Sourcing old growth Burma teak in North America has become very difficult due to recent over harvesting and the justified trade sanctions placed on the country with the last remaining natural forests. Over the years we have set aside pieces that were quite rare due to their size, color and figure. We are now selling these remaining pieces and when sold this quality will no longer be available. Some of these larger pieces were selectively logged with elephants 15 years ago.
